TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a detection method for DNA repair-associated genes responsive to low-dose radiation, and more particularly, to a method comprising exposing AKR / J mice, as a thymus cancer model, and normal ICR mice to low-dose radiation, collecting thymuses from the mice, identifying DNA repair-associated genes that are expressed commonly or differentially in response to radiation exposure, and amplifying the genes to measure expression levels thereof.BACKGROUND ART
[0002] A variety of strategies have been applied to identify specific genes which are sensitive to low-dose radiation (0.7 mGy / h), but gene expression at the protein level has not been confirmed. In contrast, the genes identified in the present invention are revealed by differences in gene expression at the RNA level as well as at the protein level. Also, no attempts have been made to compare the expression patterns of genes associated with DAN damage and repair between healthy mice and...
